German consulate in Virginia Beach
People searching for a German consulate in Virginia Beach are looking for one that does not exist. The responsible mission is in Washington, D.C..
Virginia Beach
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. Virginia belongs to Washington, D.C..
Washington, D.C. sits 209 miles from Virginia Beach, roughly 4 h 14 min by car before traffic. The appointment is the fixed point; the trip plans around it.
That makes it the 2nd furthest of the 7 cities we list in Virginia.
Virginia has honorary consuls at Norfolk. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.
The same question, answered for other Virginia cities: Chesapeake (209 mi), Manassas (31 mi), Richmond (109 mi), Woodbridge (24 mi), Alexandria (9 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Virginia page.
What you can settle without travelling
Some of this does not need the consulate at all.
- Track a passport that is already in progress: it is printed in Berlin and the six to eight weeks are set there, not at the counter that took your application
- Order copies of German civil records for a citizenship file: those come from German municipalities by post, and they are the slowest part of any descent case
- Order a German birth, marriage or death certificate: the registry office of the German town where it happened issues it, and most of them take an online or postal request
This is an independent directory of German consular offices in the United States. It is not operated by the Federal Foreign Office or by any German mission. Fees, opening hours and requirements change: always confirm them with the office before you travel.
